If you love the idea of baking homemade bread but are put off by all the hands on time it takes then you've come to the right place.
Easy No Knead Sourdough Bread
My Easy Wholemeal Bread recipe takes literally minutes to prepare, there is no kneading involved at all and proving and baking happens as you get on with other stuff. Make sure you set a timer though, as it's so easy to lose track of time.
I've always loved crusty breads the most and this one has got a lovely golden crust with a bit of crunch. If you prefer softer crust you can simply cover your freshly baked bread gently with a clean tea towel as it cools which will makes it softer.
No you don't. I've baked this bread numerous times using just plain white and plain wholemeal (whole wheat) flours and the results are the same as when I've used strong (bread flours).
Super Easy No Knead Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
You can be pretty brave and mix and match your flours here but I would advise you to keep to 50/50 ratio of white to wholemeal/whole wheat flour for the best results and nice, light crumb.
As with any homemade bread and because of the lack of preservatives it is the best on the day you bake it.
My recommendation would be to eat it fresh on the day you bake it and perhaps the following day and toast it after that. I must say I like to eat my sandwiches toasted anyway so I usually only eat it it fresh when still warm on the day I bake it.
Fast No Knead Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
If you don't eat a lot of bread you can easily freeze it. Simply let it cool completely, slice it and pop into freezer safe bag until you need it. To defrost simply take it out onto the kitchen counter where it should thaw in an hour or so, usually less than that. Alternatively, you can simply toast it from frozen until thawed and nicely crisped up.
We love it fresh or toasted for breakfast with the variety of spreads like lemon curd, homemade orange marmalade or this plum and chocolate spread.
For lunch it will make a delicious sandwich with whatever filling you fancy. How about some wild garlic hummus or vegan egg salad? It will also make delicious addition to any soup. Some of my favourites are:
Seeded No Knead Bread
Being bread loving family we have it with dinner sometimes as well. It goes well with pasta dishes or anything saucy as it makes for perfect sponge to mop up the juices!
Have you tried my Easy Wholemeal Bread Recipe? Leave a comment and rating at the bottom of this post, I love reading them!You know, I always wanted to be the kind of person who makes their own hummus and bakes their own whole wheat bread. So I’m pretty chuffed that I have become this person!
So now I can feel all wholesome and earth-motherish. Well, at least I would if I had some kiddos other than my two cat babies.
No Knead To Say More: 100% Whole Wheat Bread
And ‘eating clean’ is quite the popular phrase in diet culture. But depending on which diet camp you’ve found yourself, ‘clean’ can have vastly different meanings. Like for some it means eating plenty of meat but cutting out grains and processed foods. And of course that is not at all what it means in the vegan community.
But anyway, I am not a fan of labelling foods like this because it’s a value judgement, like ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Which some can take to extremes and it can lead to eating disorders (not good).
But that being said, lately it can be hard to find a loaf of bread in the store that doesn’t have a heap of junk in it. There is one particular loaf of wholewheat bread that I bought, and we just didn’t get around to eating it (or throwing it out).
No Knead Chia Whole Wheat Bread
However, it was just as perfectly fresh 3 weeks after purchase as it was on the day I brought it home from the store. Hmmm.
So I do like to make some whole wheat bread myself, and when it’s as easy as THIS, then there’s no reason not to! Also check out our other super easy bread recipes, our vegan white bread, vegan soda bread and vegan focaccia.
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
Whole Wheat No Knead Bread, Crusty Bread
I have literally never come across a recipe as easy as this. It’s just 5-ingredients, and you don’t even have to knead it.
In fact, kneading is out with this recipe. You just throw some whole wheat flour, instant yeast and a little salt to a mixing bowl.
Mix in to just combine (no kneading! I’m not going to tell you again you super-keen kneading fan), move it into a greased loaf pan (a little parchment paper on the bottom is also a good idea), cover it and leave it to rise for 20 minutes.
No Knead Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe: How To Make It
It does all its rising before it even hits the oven. So the height it is when it goes in is pretty much the height it is when it comes out.
I mean really I don’t think it could be easier even if you used a bread machine. Well, I’ve never used a bread machine so I can’t really compare, but with a recipe as easy as this, who needs a bread machine?
And the BEST thing about baking your own whole wheat bread is your whole house smells delicious and you get to eat it warm from the oven.
Whole Wheat No Knead Bread
I mean really if you don’t feel like cooking, just make a loaf of this (it barely counts as ‘cooking’ it’s too easy), and serve it with a huge salad, maybe some roasted garlic hummus and avocado and various other toppings and dinner is done and dusted!
Of course it goes immensely well with any homemade soups too! So if you’re having a delicious vegan potato leek soup or vegan tomato soup or vegan lentil soup for dinner, then this is going to be awesome for dipping.
This recipe is very versatile and has worked great when we’ve switched up the flours. We have tried this recipe as follows and all have worked out great:
The Easiest No Knead Sourdough Bread
It even works with a gluten-free all purpose flour blend. I find that adding a tablespoon or two of olive oil (at the same time as the other wet ingredients) makes the gluten-free version come out softer.
It’s best when very fresh (the day of making it) but it will keep for a couple of days in a closed container and it also makes very delicious toast!
You can freeze it, and that’s best done on the day of baking to lock in the freshness. If you freeze it on the second or third day then you can use it for toast straight from the freezer.
